Medford ribune Second Section MEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, APRIL 21, 1950 Pages 1-6 Sen. Morse Central Figure As Primary Election Push Opens Portland, Ore., Apr. 21 (U.R) were saying of Morse that "we Oregon's primary election cam paign moved into high gear to day with orthodox republicans trying to unseat U. S. Senator Wayne Morse and the democrats attempting to deliver the state to the Truman "fair deal." Oregon, faestest growing state in the nation, was the only state west of the Mississippi that gave its electoral votes to Gov. Tho mas E. Dewey in the 1948 gen eral election, after choosing Dewey over Harold E. Stassen in a crucial primary. Battle Royal Shaping Now, a battle royal was shap ing up between the two major parties for control of thousands of "new votes," particularly in the Portland metropolitan area, which may decide whether the state will remain republican. The primary election will be held May 19. The biggest fight centered around Senator Morse, who has aligned himself in many senate controversies with democrats or the extreme liberal wing of the republican party, thus earning the enmity or opposition of down-the-line Oregon republi cans. Anti-Morse republicans have agreed upon Dave Hoover, a Deadwood, Ore., farmer and po litical neophyte as their standard-bearer. Hoover is a home spun candidate who bitterly op poses Morse's brand of republi canism. Write Letters A rancher who specializes in guernsey cattle breeding. Hoov er rolls his own cigarettes and first attracted attention with a series of letters to the editor of the Eugene, Ore., Register-Guard in which he proclaimed his phil osophy of "Liberty versus So cialism." Hoover, in his preliminary campaign speeches throughout the state, has attacked the Mar shall plan as a waste of money in the "European rathole," con demned overspending by the Truman administration, advocat ed reduction of taxes and a dras tic trimming of federal bureau cracy. In his opening campaign speech, Hoover asserted that Norman Thomas, the socialist had referred to Morse as my favorite republican senator." He said republicans in Oregon now suspect him for the friends he has made." Morse, busy in the senate, has not yet formally answered Hoover's campaign attacks. Howard F. Latourette, Port land attorney, and Dr. Louis A. Wood, professor emeritus at the University of Oregon, are seek ing the democratic nomination for Morse's post. 287 Candidates There are a total of 287 candi dates running for national, state and judicial offices a new rec ord for the state and indicative of the hot interest in state and national politics this year. A sidelight of the campaign will be the administration's pro posed Columbia valley adminis tration, which most democratic candidates have espoused as a vital regional plank in the Tru man "fair deal" and which most republicans oppose as an unwar ranted attempt by the federal government to establish a dicta torship over development of na tural resources in the Pacific northwest. Democrats headed by National Committeeman Monroe Sweet- land hae made campaign claims of solid progress, particularly in urban centers. But their state organization was beset with intra mural strife with three gubernatorial candi dates. State Senator Austin Fle- gel. State Treasurer Walter Pear son and insurance man Lew Wal lace bickering among them selves. The winner will tackle incumbent republican Gov. Douglas McKay in the fall. 1949 Apples and Pears Still Move to Market Some 1949 crop Oregon apples and pears are still moving to market, but interest is now shifting definitely toward pros pects for the season ahead, ac cording to the weekly tree fruits and nut crops review prepared by the Oregon State college extension service.

Huge Strides in Northwest Industry Expected in Future Portland, Ore., Apr. 21 (U.R) Ivan Bloch, consultant to the Port of Portland, predicts that about 4 million tons of cargo will be brought into lower Col umbia ports assigned to electro process industries during the period between 1960 and 1970. He asked port interests to aggressively plan" .'or construc tion of loading and unloading facilities to handle the ship ments. Enormous Strides Seen He told the Propellor club that enormous strides will be made in all categories of industry in the Pacific Northwest, but major growth will take place in those relying on the northwest's supply of low-cost power and pure water. "One of the factors that in creases dependence on electrical power as a basic raw material," he said, "is that a large portion of today's metals and chemicals can only be manufactured in the electric furnace and the electro lytic cell." He estimated that require ments for bauxite the alumi num industry's raw material would expand to 2.7 million tons from 1960 to 1970. Small Business Loan Insurance Favored Washington, Apr. 21 (U.R) A commerce department advis ory committee thinks the gov ernment should insure loans to small businessmen in much the same way it now guarantees housing loans to builders.

Under the plan, govern ment insurance of business loans would be limited to $25,000 in each case. Papers Should Be Free Press Watchdog Washington. Apr. 21 (U.R) The American Society of News paper Editors opened its three day annual convention today with a warning from its presi dent that it should be the watch dog of a free press, not the cop looking for minor violations. Ben M. McKelwav. editor of the Washington Star and retir ing ASNE president, told some 400 members that "informed criticism of the press is healthy." a noma se vigilant But. he added, the society should be vigilant against "any thing that attacks the principle of a free press." In local viola tions of this inherent right, he said, the members individually should be vigilant. "Our experience, and not lack of courage, should make us cau tious of any proposition to set ourselves up as an organization that passes judgment upon the too frequently generalized criti cism of press performance," he said. "For that would be a pre tentious undertaking, beyond our capabilities as a society and very apt to collide with principles basic to a free press. Transients Killed .
